Most kitchens have a tea kettle in them, but if you haven't bought one in a long time you may be surprised at all the different options available. Many of the older models feature a spout with a lid. The kettle also whistles as the water is boiling to signify it is hot enough. There are now kettles without lids but they are still able to whistle so that you know when the water is hot enough.
There are also electric kettles on the market that allow you to plug the appliance in rather than using the stove. This process takes much less time than having to wait for the water to boil. Many people are loyal to the old style of tea kettles though and they will buy that over the electric models any day. This is because they believe it brings out a better taste.
Tea kettles are a common item all over the world, they are just known by other names. The Russians call it samovar while the Japanese refer to it as tetsubin. Both of these types often feature a strainer so that real tea leaves can be used to make the tea. They are offered in a variety of sizes as well as different designs.
Not every household has a tea kettle, it depends on if you like the taste of tea or not. For others it is an item that commonly gets pushed aside or overlooked. Other households use it regularly to boil water for tea or other needs. Most kettles are very inexpensive and very easy to use though so it is an appliance that you should consider having in your kitchen.
There are several different models and styles of tea kettles so you can easily find one that matches the décor of your kitchen. If you don't have very much counter space then you may be better off buying a traditional model that fits on your stove. You may need to try out different models until you settle on one that you are happy with.
